3. In the resulting window, select a location you can easily find and then, create a new folder in that location.
4. When you are in that folder, save the info.txt into the new folder.
5. Then, go to the folder you created and check the contents of the folder.  When saving, it appears as though you were saving one file,  however it saves all the files that were listed in the attachments portion of the checker tool.
6. If there is only the info.txt, then the step of clicking in the attachments section in the checker was not completed, please repeat these instructions to save the appropriate files.

8. Please then zip the created folder and send to technical support.
